  • Centrist Democrats Are the Actual Traitors to Their Party

    Jump

  • When the poles of your political axis are "human rights" <---> "genocide and slavery" then centrists can go stuff themselves. Theres no compromise between freedom and slavery, life and death. I will not meet you on the middle fields of "just against the bad ones."

  • More shirts I've done. Thoughts?

  • Amazing! I'd wear these even having no idea which band is being promoted!

  • Ban Reason: Universal Monk

    Jump

  • I can't say I generally agree with you a whole lot as i recall; but you seem a nice enough person and you're an active poster, which like, forums need to stay alive!

    Certainly a ridiculous ban reason, you're hardly the most controversial poster out there, but yeah it must feel pretty wild to be internet infamous!

  • Yep, it's a treasure! I wish there was a slightly more tropical version sometimes, but the advice generally applies well and lots of things grow very easily here.

    It's such a funny coincidence that the layout of several elements is the same that I feel like the meme one must have been inspired by the illustration. I did want to highlight a more realistic take on this concept, and since he puts those 3 layouts right by each other in the book, I also wanted to include them. Like you say, the difference is in focusing on practical realities of the space and getting the most out of it.

  • Deserved honestly

  • I love 😬 that we're now at the point where "is this real?" is ambiguous between:

    • did the story factually occur in our shared reality?
    • was this story actually posted to 4chan?
    • did a human even make this image?

    And at this juncture with the common addition of "chat, is this real?" we can further add:

    • does the audience exist?
    • does the person sharing the image exist?
    • do I exist?

  • Communication

  • Can't say I've ever tried it, but it looks like good, kinky fun to me!

  • I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people (especially in the US) regularly demand that their food be chauffeured to them.

    Jump

  • Sure, that's kind of my point though. I was discussing with a friend recently what role restaurants would have in the glorious anarchic communist utopia. We hit on the notion that what we call "hot bars" would probably become much more common.

    It doesn't make sense for everyone to cook for themselves or be deeply concerned with the logistics of food. It would be efficient for larger kitchens to make regular group meals and you go pick one up when you're ready to eat. Something like Meals on Wheels would still exist for all the reasons you say, probably sourcing from their own kitchen or from one of the larger group ones.

    I could even see a case for group meal delivery to save time on everyone having to leave job sites to go get food.

    I guess my main point here is that I find it more productive and hopeful to imagine these kinds of futures: where everyone is working together systematically to provide convenience and support for everyone. I also find it much more believable as a possible future than rather some cottage core vision of everyone become subsistence smallhold farmers.

    (Happy cake day BTW! I hope that cake wasn't delivered!)

  • Obviously we can't pretend that VC funded services like Uber are sustainable nor are the environmental and economic costs. But this aren't new concepts. Pizza delivery has been a thing my entire life (I'm in my 40s) and services for the elderly, disabled, and needy like Meals on Wheels have also existed for a long time.

    We should be having a lot of discussions about support for services like meals on wheels, or on sustainable means of making small courier businesses viable (via bikes or scooters maybe). Instead we constantly get sidelined into this "only the Treatler Youth use Uber Eats to feed your hamburger addictions, why can't you just cook healthfully for yourself for every meal?!" version of discourse that doesn't help anyone and doesn't advance the needle on any actual solutions.

  • Communication

    Jump

  • WWE RAW is (was?) the branding for a televised professional wrestling event which occurred most every Monday. It traveled between venues so fans could attend a show locally. Last time it came to NOLA it was a huge deal, the city was swarming with wrestling fans almost packed more densely than football fans when the superb owl is in town.

    The phrase "Monday night raw?" could also be interpreted as an offer for unprotected sex. "Hitting it raw" means no condoms or other barriers. So she was (allegedly) expecting to have rough, wild sex and instead was (allegedly) invited to attend a fake (allegedly) sporting event.

    (As an aside, I don't know why unprotected sex would be interpreted as being any better for her. It's intimate and I have partners who prefer it, but i would say it's minimally a factor in how good the sex is for the receiving party.)

    Trial re-federation proposal for lemmygrad

    Jump

  • I'm broadly against defederation in general without good material cause (such as: instance does a lot of trolling or brigading, instance hosts illegal or deeply immoral content).

    I like the hexbears! There's some bad ones of course, but there's people on this instance I don't like or agree with so that's hardly an argument against. I can block the worst tankies of lemmygrad as well, or the whole instance if it really personally bothered me.

    In broader terms, I think we see enough of an amount of center-lib arguments that it's essentially the water we swim in. I'm glad that out and out right wing takes are very rare, but I think some more extreme left views could be good. I don't agree with vanguardists at all but I can't act like coalition with them against overt fascists isnt necessary sometimes.

    And anyway, federation isnt about political coalition. It's about exchange of ideas and I'm confident enough in the correctness of anarchy to not feel threatened by the ideas of other leftists.

  • I'm not even a sports fan but I'm always impressed how active !squaredcircle@lemmy.zip and !formuladank@lemmy.world are! The active members put in a lot of time (and memes) into making those communities and I hope they attract the membership to become sustainable.
